what kind of progress can president obama point to? he can mention the employment numbers, which were at 6.1% before the crash, 10% at the height of the crash, and now sit at 7.3%. there's also gross domestic product, which is higher than pre-crash numbers, and median household income is not back to the pre-crash amount of $55,000, but is climbing back from a low of $50,700, in august of 2011. all of this leads one to ask, how much credit does president obama deserve for where we are five years after 2008's economic crash. how much credit or blame does the president deserve? >> i believe -- i mean, i completely agree with that speech he gave in october of 2008. unfortunately, he didn't implement any of the things that he promised us. the change we can believe in never happened. he surrounded himself immediately as his close economic advisers with the people who are going to -- who are in part responsible for what happened, whether it was tim geithner or larry summers. who were going to reestablish the status quo as quickly as possible.
